F4Gary Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I did a search and couldn't find anything. Is there a setting that will let a passenger fiddle with the navigation while I am driving? Seems stupid to not allow a passenger to change a destination when the car is in gear.

I never use manual input. “Destination address”. “123 Main Street Atlanta”. Hit the Start button. Couldn’t be easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most mfrs didn’t allow that but some have changed recently. But it’s also because Ford has allowed you to use voice control to manage destinations for over a decade.

If you allow the passenger to do it then you also allow the driver to do it while driving. Ford experimented with 2 different technologies to allow the passenger but prevent the driver and neither were successful. Its so easy to just say “Destination address” “123 main st atlanta”.

You staring at the screen for an extended period of time, distracted, trying to type in an address that could be who knows how long, while driving is safe? Let me guess you text while driving too. Also reading the guesses in autofill is distracting too. Maybe some have allowed you to do it but people have funny ideas of what is safe while driving like applying makeup or reading a book or peeling an orange it doesn't mean it's safe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceonept Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 You can do this on my UK spec Edge, so there's probably a setting somewhere in Forscan that will allow you to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 It may be a moot point going forward as some vehicles are beginning to have separate passenger screens. That’s the safe way to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. It's been possible since 2007 sync. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly text at home much less on the road. Why would I stare at the screen while my passenger types in an address? This is hilarious.
